The Venn Festival was born in 2003, out of a dual impetus: an overbearing
urge to enliven the straightjacket music presentation format, and a desire
to give Bristol, UK a landmark music festival that was one of the most exciting
of its kind in the world.

Venn imagines a festival of music, sound and art that, by resisting obvious
programming and modes of production wherever possible, triggers a wide set
of emotions and thoughts. An inexpensive festival of musical overlap for as
many fellow explorers that can be persuaded to come.

Occupying a collection of venues, buildings and outposts scattered around
Bristol, UK, Venn is operated by a collection of disparate music obsessives
who bring to Venn their own entertaining sensibilities and probing spirit.
